It is a shame whether it was suicide or murder. She certainly gave many Japanese Nationalists a motive with her book "The Rape of Nanking."

I think "The Rape of Nanking" should be required reading for anyone interested in history. What the Japanese did in Nanking and other parts of Occupied China was every bit a brutal as the Holocaust. It was perhaps not as organized and certainly not as well documented, though. Iris Chang did as much as anyone to preserve and disseminate what evidence there was. For that she deserves to be remembered by all. Japan has no desire to face up to what was done by their troops in China and Korea (and the Philippines, and Borneo, and the Solomons. . . ). I certainly hope others will take her place in publicizing Japanese War crimes.

This http://www.cnd.org/njmassacre/index.html is a pretty good starting place for anyone interested
in Japanese war crimes, or is fascinated by morbid events and historical atrocities.

Not for the squeamish, revisionists, or those that think denial is a river in Egypt.
